My Favorite Books

Sunshine in a bouquet

The books I love, any time of year, are ones that challenge me and encourage me learn. I especially like well-researched, well-written historical fiction. My all-time favorite

Changes in the Church

Church in the wild-wood

This past spring, my husband and I returned to the church I grew up in. This has given me opportunity to reflect on the changes I have seen since childhood. There are three main changes in the denomination we are a part of.

The Normal Christian Life

In an earlier post I broached the subject of struggling with sin versus practicing it. I wrote that it appeared a former friend had lost her struggle with lesbianism. The following verses from the Bible speaks to this.

LGBTQ Numbers Up

According to 2018 Gallup poll estimates, a record number of US adults, 4.5% or 11 million people, are identifying as lesbian, gay, bi-sexual or transsexual. This is up from 4.1% in 2016 and 3.5% in 2012.

Friends Who Struggle

I became friends with someone who struggled with lesbianism. She along with her husband came to a book study my husband and I led. It was through this study we became friends. We also went to the same church.

The Difference

 

I got up early one morning
And rushed right into the day;
I had so much to accomplish
That I didn’t have time to pray.
